Top notch rental
Tarpon Camp is the cutest, cleanest rental we have probably stayed in using a rental service! It was absolutely perfect for us and our needs! Convenient to local eateries, Marina and most of all our boat! The fees added to rental are a little high but understand with the upkeep and keeping a rental as clean as this! Thanks again and hope to be back again!
